Really an unexpected busy time, so the regular contributions to my blog have been somewhat missing! The Fife Men Project predominates, with cash flow problems, inundated with referrals, and the media profile owing to Stephen Fry's documentary "HIV & Me", the first part which was screened last night! Very sad to see an old friend making his mark! William past away earlier this year, evidently three weeks after they had filmed. I missed his goodbye do, as I was in plaster at the time and could not travel through to Edinburgh. Got a full report from friends who did attend the funeral. All the all the programme was very reflective of the current situation. The work in the project is not completed and I suspect that is what keeps us going; its not an organisation that perpetuates itself for its own ends, hence my volunteer involvement!
I've gone a bit reflective now!
Visited Austwick last week, Thursday to Sunday and time seemed to go very quickly! The lady next door is 95 year old and likes a tipple - she is having some stomach problems so I suggested she stick to water until it settled down - so she got her Brandy and put a dash of water and said, "I'm not sure if water will do any good" - well at 95 good luck to her!
A resolution here - will try and get back to weekly updates - will have some news as I'm away to Berlin with mate from down South at the end of the month. The BIG news is that Frank and I are going with pal Andy to visit Robin in Sydney next year! Last time we went was in 1999 and had a great time! Like to see something of Oz while we are there and that does not mean the local casualty or eye hospital! Ah sweet memories!
